Re: Hanukkah

First of all, I reject the idea of a "Judeo-Christian" tradition. Judaism is exclusive, there's no reason to apologize for that. People can't just walk in off the street, and attend services at a temple. First, you have to be "verified" as a real jew. Then you have to be "qualified" as a leftist. Finally, you have to be"recognized" as a dues paying member. It's the exact opposite of Christianity. And I'll be the first to say that I've got real problems with Horowitz at Frontpagemag.com. This guy claims to be a "reformed communist", but he keeps recommending communist solutions.

Here's a quote from the article: Democrats believe power should be held only by amoral and irreligious people.
He's referring to Jews. American Jews are the most irreligious people in the world. Nobody goes to temple aymore, except for the very old. And young Jews receive absolutely zero moral training. To be Jewish in America is to be a cynic, a feminist, a supporter of homosexual marriage; and a champion of Black Lives Matter. I submit that America doesn't have any Jews. After all, even the devil can quote scripture. A communist posing as a Jew is still a communist.

If you want to understand Judaism, you must first take a look at Christianity. I read an essay by Blaise Pascal which seemed to contain a lot truth. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/18269/18269-h/18269-h.htm

Pascal said that learning to understand life comes before anything else. Even little children must be taught about right and wrong, good and evil, and the necessity to keep learning. Only through constant improvement can people become happy. Avoiding sin is not the objective; the real key to is to be humble, and to exalt life both at the same time. But that's not easy. That's why Christ serves as the very first symbol of divinity. In him, we can see ourselves. Imperfect, but climbing a little higher every day, just as he climbed higher.
Grace is the acknowledgement that fighting for what's right is honorable in the eye's of God, and his people. The only way to fall from grace is to surrender. Faith is the certainty that life is worthy of being exalted; that's the message which we must pass on to our children. Only through that certainty can the world be redeemed into a sacred place.

Now we'll take a look at Judaism. Basically, Jews believe that changing the world can only be accomplished collectively. For them, spiritual enlightenment must occur as a group change in consciousness. They call that "Tikkun Olam". For Jews, breaking the Law, like Jesus did, is counter-productive. Keeping the law is what matters, because then everyone can be included in a universal set of ideals. Therefore, people won't fight anymore. The only problem is that different cultures contain different laws. So in order for Tikkun Olam to work, all those cultures must be unified into one single congruent whole. That's where we get the term "World Heritage". And that's where we get the idea that there is no absolute right and wrong. According to American Jews, homosexuals are right in their own way. The Jews don't call it sin or moral relativism, they call it tolerance. But really, it's the idea that there's nothing to stand for in life. Not even Israel. Or America. So if foreign people take over, that's fine, because there are no foreign people. Everyone in the world has unrealized spiritual potential, which technology will deliver. Therefore, character development is pointless; and manhood is pointless. The female divinities of Mother Mary and Ruth will make all the decisions. So just surrender.
